Back in 1914, the local LDS folks of the Ogden 15th (Lynne) ward constructed a chapel. Here is a photo of that gothic edifice:
If you are an Ogden resident and the above photo resonates with an odd familiarity, there is a reason. Located at the intersection of 2nd Street and Washington Blvd., this building is now used by the Bank of Utah.
Quite the make-over. I don't know about you, but I prefer the original version. The white-wash, chimney removal, window replacements, window shutters, Gothic arch removal, and gable window ornamentation rework all seem to have robbed this building of its soul.
